Vasilevskiy stopped 19 of 20 shots after replacing Ben Bishop in the Lightning’s loss to the Kings on Friday. Since being recalled he has stopped 52 of 56 shots (.929 SV%).

Vasilevskiy allowed one goal on 20 shots after replacing Ben Bishop in the Lightning’s loss to the Kings last night. He has been great in six NHL appearances, going 4-1-0 with a 1.96 GAA and .934 SV% this season. It will be tough to expect big things out of him today with the Ducks in town.
Vasilevskiy went 3-1-0 with a 1.76 GAA and .937 SV% in four games during his recall in late December. He impressed in that short stint, which forced the Lightning to put the struggling Evgeni Nabokov on waivers. Vasilevskiy will get his first NHL start since December 31st, but has a tough matchup with the NHL’s second highest scoring team on the schedule.
Vasilevskiy, 20, has gone 14-5-5 with a 2.38 GAA and .919 SV% with Syracuse this season. He was excellent in his brief stint with the Lightning earlier in the year, going 3-1-0 with a 1.76 GAA and .937 SV%. The Lightning placed Evgeni Nabokov on waivers to make room for the young net minder.
Hedman was listed as a game-time decision, but he will be back in the Lightning lineup vs. the Avalanche. He will be paired with Andrej Sustr.
Hedman took part in the Lightning's morning skate and was listed as a game-time decision. His presence on the ice for warmups is a good sign that he will indeed be back in the lineup tonight vs. Colorado.
Hedman skated for the second straight day and said he feels good and expects to play tonight vs. the Avalanche after missing the last two games. Hedman has 20 points (5G / 15A) in 26 games this season.
Hedman was a full participant in practice on Friday and he is in the morning skate today. He was listed as questionable for today, but his availability this morning, is a good sign that he could return to the lineup tonight.
Hedman has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but he participation in practice this morning suggests that he could make a return to the lineup tomorrow vs. the Avalanche. Monitor his status leading up to 7 PM ET puck-drop.
Hedman is not on the ice for the Lightning’s morning skate, so expect him to miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury.
Hedman was injured in the Lightning’s loss last night and will not play tonight vs. the Bruins. He will be replaced by Nikita Nesterov on the blue line and Anton Stralman will take his spot on the Lightning’s top power-play unit. Monitor his status prior to Thursday’s game vs. Edmonton.
Hedman left last night’s loss to the Flyers with a lower-body injury and did not return. Coach Jon Cooper said after the game that “there’s a good chance” that Hedman does not play tonight against the Bruins. The Lightning likely won’t have a morning skate, so we won’t know Hedman’s status until closer to game-time.
Vasilevskiy only had to make 10 saves in the Lightning’s 5-1 win over the Sabres last night. The Lightning wanted to get him another NHL game with Ben Bishop a little banged up, but the Sabres only registering 11 shots wasn’t much of a test for the young net minder.
Perry is in warmups after being listed as questionable so look for him to return tonight vs. the Sharks. Perry has registered 22 points (14G / 8A) in 23 games this season.
The Ducks have sent Max Friberg back to the AHL which is a sign that Perry will be activated from IR and be in the lineup tonight vs. the Sharks. He has been out since December 5th, but this would be a perfect way for the Ducks to end 2014. Perry has 14 goals and eight assists (22 points) in 23 games.
Vasilevskiy gave up three goals on 29 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Penguins last Tuesday. He was 2-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .940 SV% during his recall. He has been called-up to get another NHL start with Ben Bishop a little banged up. Vasilevskiy makes for a great spot-start in Buffalo tonight.
Perry will take part in the Ducks morning skate on Wednesday and decide after the skate if he will return to the lineup vs. the Sharks.
There is no word on any injury to Ben Bishop or Evgeni Nabokov at this time, but Vasilevskiy will join the Lightning in Buffalo for Wednesday’s game. Vasilevskiy was excellent in his time with the Lightning while Ben Bishop was injured—he went 2-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .940 SV%.
